So just so I understand, if a girl has died during the reset process, do the custodians still need to reset them? I wonder what purpose is served by Ami killing everyone/herself (unless it's just catharsis for herself?)
And for the RAS/Sensei who remembered through the loops, are these failed custodial resets? Did the custodians choose to not reset/not manage to find the RAS girls in time before the world started over, and that's why they kept their memories? It can't be that the custodians attempt to reset them and they remember in spite of it, because we see Ayane and Akira experience pain when remembering. The RAS girls just genuinely remember everything.
This is the still elusive part of reset despite the recent huge reveal I believe. We know how reset works on someone when it's done properly. We essentially still don't know how it unfolds if any part of that goes wrong, so the following involves a lot of my guesses.
So with what we know now, what happened at the end of chapter 3 with Maya? Was Himawari invisible and watching them bang and then reset Maya during it? Did Maya pop because the "world" then put her somewhere else? Is it Hinawari we have to blame or did Perry order it so she had no choice? We've talked about prime being trapped somewhere but is Nu Maya just prime with a memory wipe? And does any of this explain the reset puzzles? Remember Himawari dancing during that one puzzle?
He really posted this
Lewds are animated in 1 of 10 cases, with 1 poor A-B animation. 9 of 10 its 2-3 renders with pounding sound. in koikatsu graphics -_-. He cant even make a 5-6 renders slow slideshow.
Maya duplicated into 2, you wont see "prime" for another 10 updates(20 months) minimum.
no Yumi, no Touka, Uta is going to tease Sensei to the death, and her arc is already turning into another sorrowful drama; Molly only has 1 "decent" bj scene.
Almost every girl from now started to call you Akira
What could have gone wrong?
Yes 0.53 is cute, lovely and tearful, (which more meaningful than fake scizo stuff), but this is Erotic VN on F95, not an Adventures of the Huggy Boy on some anime forum
The last time we saw Ami before the reset (when she delivered the box) she was wearing pajamas, but the Ami corpse has her normal outfit. Would she really stop to change after the reset started? Especially since she can feel them coming according to Himawari (and she may have deliberately caused this one anyway).
There's precedent for the possibility of a clone. There were two Futabas during this reset, and Himawari says that happens sometimes in this world. During the Karaoke booth reset, we saw two Amis (there's a second Ami in the background after the first one is murdered). Maybe this is a strategy she uses to escape the custodians, letting them mind wipe the wrong Ami.
There is also evidence that there could be two Amis because there were two Futabas, and this seems to be somewhat regular. Second thing is that they are wearing different outfits after all. The Ami that killed New Maya wasn't wearing the same outfit as Cover Ami.
Remember in 0.52 Futaba got really angry out of nowhere, like it was out of character for her while Rin went with her to cheer her up like she would normally do? Maybe whatever was happening to her manifested as her doubling / splitting during the reset.
The Bootstrap Paradox idea lines up too well not to be true. The scarf is the starting gun, and we'll be seeing more objects in the future. Maybe the endgame to fixing the world is getting Maya to realize/admit the wish nature of herself and the world to Akira, and Himawari saw that it could only happen by getting Maya to open back up.
I think Maya is so reluctant and self hating because she knows THE Akira isnt supposed to be here in her world, which is why she says she has the "worst luck in the world". Maybe that theory of choosing Maya or Himawari at the end is right? She withholds secrets because she can imagine what the endgame is, a choice between her being wiped from existence and THE Akira going away.
So Maya drags is out, and tries to repress it all. This directly leads to her rooftop ending.
(Side note, what if the students we see in all the TSS scenes act as the "main hub" for the "solar panels" that are the main world bodies? Like how real Himawari absorbed the memories of her Solar Panel version from Aomori? Could explain how tortured Maya looked, and skinny Futuba from hers. The TSS versions "absorb" all the memories/physical changes from all the resets. Save the whole dying/dismemberment aspect)
I also think that Sekai's body beneath the everblooming Sakura is the key to Ami's staying power. Sekai seems likely to be the "god" that Ami has a contract with. Maybe "God of broken love" or something along those lines. Since Ami is shown to have technically perfect memory of all the resets, maybe Himawari wants Ami to explain the first version before a reset or some other mystery?
I think that Himawari's talk with Tsubasa was a lampshade of sorts. When Tsubasa says shes known about Akira since before Touka was born, that he's long lost family member, and that he's key to the space war, that is an attempt to hide in plain sight. All of these things, I think, will be shown to be true.
Sekai's being actually buried beneath the Sakura would only make sense if she had a deep connection to the Tsukiokas. (Maybe her body's discovery is the scandal referred to 53?) Sekai's relationship with Nozomu then wouldve been known to Tsubasa. From there its not a big stretch to learn of Akira. This could fulfill the family/knowledge lampshade.
Him being key to the space war is could literally be that Maya's wish made him one of the only males around Kumon-mi. Once Akira's stuff is all dealt with, space war ends.
So with what we know now, what happened at the end of chapter 3 with Maya? Was Himawari invisible and watching them bang and then reset Maya during it? Did Maya pop because the "world" then put her somewhere else? Is it Hinawari we have to blame or did Perry order it so she had no choice? We've talked about prime being trapped somewhere but is Nu Maya just prime with a memory wipe? And does any of this explain the reset puzzles? Remember Himawari dancing during that one puzzle?
Kumon-Mi is a fishbowl, and there are lots of entities tapping on the glass. Himawari is definitely exerting influence where she can, but she's far from the only one doing it. She's not even the only custodian (all those Angels? Probably other custodians).
